antheridium

DEFINITION

haploid structure or organ producing male gametes in non-flowering plants like mosses and ferns

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Botanists used laboratory microscopes to examine the structure of antheridium cells on the fern gametophyte surface. Water droplets are essential for sperm cells to swim from the antheridium to the female reproductive organ during plant fertilization. The development of antheridium tissue marks an important phase in the natural reproductive cycle of primitive moss species. Biology students observed the release of mobile male cells from the mature antheridium under high magnification lenses. Research on bryophyte reproduction focuses on how environmental moisture affects antheridium growth and sperm release rates.
